The Kajiado County Investment Authority (KCIA) was established through the Kajiado County Investment Authority Act 2021. The Act mandates that the KCIA be the premier agency promoting investment facilitation within Kajiado County. The KCIA’s functions include Investment identification and promotion, facilitation and support, database management, policy advisory, financing, and resourcing.
KCIA’s goals target a substantial increase in capital investments over the plan period by ramping up promotion, facilitation services, identification of bankable projects, and enhancing the sector’s value proposition to investors. Supporting objectives across four pillars encompass sustainability integration, infrastructure upgrades, climate reforms, and capability advancement.
To strengthen institutional capacity and facilitate KCIA’s performance, the Secretariat developed the Kajiado County Investment Authority five-year strategic plan (2023-2028) to chart a clear roadmap for delivering its mandate over the medium-term horizon. To support the KCIA’s dream of making an impact through investment, the Kenya Devolution Program (KDP), led by Act Change Transform (Act!) through PwC as the Ouput2 implementing Partner, collaborated and developed the strategic plan.
KCIA’s strategic plan provides direction to the Authority, aligned with the above functions, with a vision to transform Kajiado County as a magnet for responsible investment by championing inclusive, ethical, and sustainable economic development that targets all in the community. The Authority shall attain this by driving strategic investment through information sharing, regulatory advice, finance linkages and strategic investment. Values of accountability, transparency, professionalism, integrity, customer service, innovation and equity shall guide the Authority.
